Our two founding principals, Rainey Gray and Howard Landers, have over 50 years combined experience in the brokerage industry and have held positions such as: CEO, COO, CFO, FinOp, syndicate manager, operations manager, compliance manager, branch manager, sales manager, trader, and registered representative. What does this mean for our clients? It means we have walked in your shoes. It means we understand your entire business, not just one department. It means that when we develop a solution for your compliance manager, the solution will also work for your sales manager. We understand because "we have crossed that bridge before."
Over the years, the firm has added a number of investment professionals, ranging from investment bankers to compliance experts to financial and operations principals. Almost all members of this expert team have held senior positions with other financial services firms and all bring diverse backgrounds and a wealth of experience to 1st BridgeHouse. The average tenure in the securities business of our investment professionals is 18 years, giving our clients the comfort of knowing they are in experienced hands.
Knowledge of regulations is one thing; knowing the best way to operate within those regulations is another.
